I have been reading this thread closely over the past week or so.
I have been trying to locate an SP101 in .327 Fed. for a few years. I finally found a new 4.2" and bought it sight unseen about 3 weeks ago. I paid top price for it, and have yet to fire it because there is a firing pin issue with it and I sent it back to Ruger. This is the first time I have had to send a gun back to the manufacturer after 25 years of buying an shooting. I was very disappointed.
I am happy to read FrankenMausers experience with Ruger and his .327, so I am confident I will get it back soon, better than new. I sure hope they don't scrap it and say they can not replace it. I just bought @$300 in reloading supplies specifically for this caliber.
It sure seems this caliber is a bit past its prime, which I think is a huge loss. I will probably be buying any .327 Fed or .32 H&R that comes my way from now on seeing that they are so scarce. About a year ago I passed up on a .32 H&R single 7 for $425. ANIB with ivory handles. I still regret that decision.
The LCR in this caliber does not really interest me at this time as I am not looking for a new CC piece and I really feel this caliber needs the longer barrel, but if one came along for the right price, I will reconsider.
Like others have said previously, I would be all over this in a lever action.
